Bang for your buckOctober 7, 2008 Excellent value for the price, good combination of light weight and pedaling power without breaking the bank. Turns smoother than the 520 model. I've only ridden about 50 miles on them so far, but they're easy to get in and out of, even on a tight single-track.

these are my third pair of shimano clipless pedals, and they are excellent; i bought their first ever clipless shimano's 16yrs ago, and they still work well on my old mtn bike. i bought these as an upgrade from some old pedals (I think 535's) that have been on my cross bike. i started to dislike the feel of the 535's, and couldn't adjust them to feel any better (too tight or too much wiggle; no great middle ground). but these 540s feel great... i click right in, the entry is positive and secure, and there isn't any of the annoying wiggle of the 535's. i might buy another pair for my mtn bike; especially because the cleat is different (rounded instead of pointed). niagara cycles (see above) sent them to california very quickly. i give 'em five stars, though i imagine that the xtr's are even better, but you can buy three sets of these for the price of one set of xtr's, so that evens it out for me.

Used these pedals on a Trek XO1 that I built up for touring. On a five dya tour the pedals work fine. Easy to clip in and out, and no squeaks!

I currently had 520's on my Giant Mountain Bike, but they were old and worn. I decided to upgrade to the 540 style which they were slightly less in total weight of pedals. Shimano is a reputable brand in much of the cycling products and I would recommend these to anyone who is looking to upgrade to another type of pedal for their mountain bike.Shimano PD-M540 ATB SPD Pedal 9/16 w/SH-51 Cleat Silver

Ordered and received with no problems. Works great. (Only had this about a month, but it's better than what it replaced, and it's better than other SPD types I've used before - so far.)
